The NYPD has received information that members of MS-13 are “looking to ‘hit'” police officers who live in certain parts of Long Island to enhance their credibility within the gang, The Post has learned.

In a memo released Tuesday, authorities from the police department’s 105th Precinct warned officers that the department has received “threats against [members of service]” who live in Brentwood and Central Islip, both hamlets in the Suffolk County town of Islip, as well as Patchogue.

“Intel has been obtained that members of MS13 are looking to ‘hit’ NYPD police officers, specifically in the Brentwood/Central Islip area, as well as possibly Patchogue in order to gain street credibility,” according to the memo. “These members are conducting reconnaissance of [member of service] private residences.”

The memo goes on to explain that police officers should “always be cognizant” and alert, should change their routine, keep an eye out for any strange vehicles and, if they do see anything unusual, make note of it.

The violent gang, which started on the West Coast and has ties to Central America, has been expanding its brutal activities in New York City recently and has been coming into more frequent contact with the NYPD.

The most shocking eruption of MS-13-related violence came early this month when a man was shot to death on a No. 7 train platform in Queens by a group of the gang’s members.

Victim Abel Mosso, who was a reputed member of the rival 18th Street Gang, was pulled off a subway car and shot dead in broad daylight in front of shocked straphangers.

Last October, MS-13 violence erupted at The Tombs jail in Manhattan when three of the gang’s members launched a sneak attack on a fellow inmate they though was a rival gang member. They stabbed the rival gangster, then flashed an MS-13 hand sign after the assault.
